I agree. Per capita we are doing exceptionally better than most European countries. My European friends think it’s like a warzone over here but outside of pockets in NYC and smaller pockets around the country the hospitals aren’t full. Whether or not that is due to our response or certain characteristics of our nation (e.g. very spread out, lots of space) is up for debate, sure. But we are doing very well.

Exceptionally? The US is better than some European countries, but significantly worse than others https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-mi...

Also if it is true that there had been significant community spread early on, thenthe US number is strongly underestimated. If not the US is on a different part of the curve and behind the deaths in Spain or Italy.
